Using a Grandmother for Firewoo


A remarkable trial is taking place at
Blois. The prisoners, all living in the
neighboring village of Luneau, are the two
sons of the victim, the widow Lebon, her
daughter, and the husband of the latter, a
man named Thomas. The widow Lebon
was over 20. She had been out to service,
and having saved 4 small pittance of S00f.,
she returned to her native village to live
with her sons and her married daughter
She had fallen into her dotage, but. never
theless, she was believed to be q witch, and
consequently had bad name in the neigh
borhood. The Indictment however, in
sinuates that it was not so much the dread
they felt at her supernatural powers as the
desire to get hold of her small savings that
induced her children to kill her. On the
9th of last July her son-iC-law, Thomas,
went to the police Office and made a state
ment to the effect that on his wife, his
brother-in-law and himself returning to
their cottage from their daily work in the
fields they had found the mother had fallen
into the fire during their absence and had
been almost entirely consumed On the
police proceeding TO the cottage they found
the head, feet and a portion of the legs of
the old woman, dreadfully charred. living
in the fireplace, the remainder of the body
having been reduced 10 ashes An INQUIRY
was set on foot, and little girl years old,
the granddaughter of the victim. who had
been an eyewitness OF the crime. stated
that the prisoners had taken the widow
Lebon out of her bed. put her upon the fire
and held her there till she was dead. Be
fore being put on the fire the wretched old
creatures clothes had been drenched with
petroleum.
The defense sci up is the extraordinary
one that the prisoners were not actuated
by motives Of cupidity, but by superstition,
believing their mother TO be 2 witch. and
that the spell she had cast upon them
they Were wretchedly poor-would be dis
solved if she were burned alive. The mur-
derers were all very religious 1t appears
that the day before they put the old woman
to death they sent for the village priest to
hear her confession and give her absolu-
ton. After the preparation of the crime,
her two sons, Alexander and Alexis Labon,
rushed in great excitement to the c1res
house and entreated him to hear their con-
fession.-PdH MoH Gazette.

preached the depot an hour behind time,
and running at the rate of about thirty-five
miles per hour. When within few rods
of the depot five OF the six cars in the train
were thrown from the track by a broken
wheel under the baggage car. The train
consisted OF an engine, en- express car, bag
gage car, smoking car, day coach and two
sleepers The engine and express car kept
on the main track. buj the baggage car was
thrown against toe engine of the local
west bound freight train. which had
just pulled in and was standing on the
west-bound main track The freight
engine was thrown on its side and COM
pletely wrecked. The baggage car, smok-
ing car and day coach Immediately took
tire and were consumed. When the cars
could be searched the charred remains of a
man burned to crisp were found. the only
means of identifying the body being the
letters U. s." on his cap. An hour later
half of the burned corpse of Mr.. Jenks of

CHICAGO, January 4th.-The weather has
been milder to-day, and light snow is
falling. The attendance at the Citrus Fair
is greatly increased this evening. A num-
ber of well-known Chicagoans are present,
accompanied by ladies. The hall was well
filled all evening. A bulletin board show
ing the maximum and minimum temper
ature for Sacramento each day excites con-
siderable curiosity. The figures run from
500 to 500 higher than Chicago. The fruit
continues in excellent condition, and there
is a good surplus to replenish from. The
fair can certainly run the balance of the
week, and possibly longer. If the weather
continues TO grow milder, the exhibition
hall will be thronged the balance of the
week. Some rowdies this evening at

The Liberals Said to be Pleased at
Goschen's Desc tion.
NEW YORK, January 4th.-A Post spe-
cial says Goschen has gone to his own
place, and the rejoicing among Liberals
everywhere is immense. That party is
definitely rid of the great enemy of its own
household. Goschen hesitated, but finally
Welded to his own natural desire for an i'm
portant political position again, and espe-
cially to the entreaties of Lord Harrington.
Goschen cannot be the leader of the House
for physical reasons, being extremely short
sighted and husky. w. II. Smith is almost
the Liberal Peers. Northbrook and Nor
ley will probably have the joint Cabinet at
India or the War Office. A coalition is thus
definitely formed without Harrington, and
political observers are now calmly awaiting
its collapse.

DUBLIN, January 4th.-The fortnightly
meeting of the Executive Committee of the
National League was held here to-day.
The different speakers ridiculed the idea
that Goschen's acceptance of the Chancel-
lorship of the Exchequer would be the
means of saving the present Conservative
Ministry. The Treasurer reported the re-
ceipt of $25 900 in donations to the Leagues
fund, during the past two weeks, from the
United States.
The trial Of the case against Messrs.
Dillon, O'Brieu, Sheehy, Harris, Crilly and
Redmond for alleged conspiracy in receiv-

and Harris, both of whom were absent on
account of illness. Harris, who is a Par
nellite Member of Parliament for East
Galway, is suffering from hemorrhage OF
the lungs, which has assumed dangerous
phase. The Crown closed its case and the
trial was adjourned.
